 If you're looking for a way to elevate a casual outfit, searching for a relaxed and cozy alternative to a blazer, or if you just simply want to get into the spirit of the season, look no further than a cashmere sweater. I'm gonna share five must have winter sweaters along with some easy winter outfit ideas right after this. I'm Brian Sakawa and you are watching He Spoke Style where we've got all the tips, knowledge and inspiration you need to dress well, have more confidence and unlock your potential. This video is sponsored by Gobi Cashmere. Gobi Cashmere uses 100% premium Mongolian cashmere and what I love about them is not only do they make a great product, but they have a pretty awesome sustainability and ethical mission as well. They've built very close connections and relationships with the nomadic Mongolian herders whose livelihood is connected to their cashmere goats. And Gobi is actually the fourth largest employer in Mongolia. They're very committed to equal opportunity and in fact, 75% of their workforce is women. What all this means is that not only do they make clothing that feels good, but it's clothing that you can feel good about. And speaking of their clothing, Gobi has a wide selection available on their website, everything from sweaters, loungewear, accessories, coats, blazers and home products. And because there is no middleman in the retail chain, all of these items are direct from the source. The pricing is outstanding, especially for the exceptional quality product that you are getting. We're getting close to the holidays, so it's the perfect time to think about gift giving and a really soft, warm and comfortable cashmere sweater is a gift that I think we could all use this season. Links are down below in the description and if you're considering one of these pieces as a gift or maybe as a gift for yourself, we have a code, it's HSS30 and the first 50 people to use it will get $30 off orders of $150 or more. I picked out five great sweaters from the collection, all that I consider to be essential for the winter time, so let's now take a look at what those are. Up first, which I'm sure comes as no surprise to any of you, is a basic solid color turtleneck. I chose one here in a cool winter white, which I think is kind of an almost unexpected seasonal color choice. I really like it here because of the contrast it creates with how I styled it, making it very much become the focal point of this outfit. I've got a classic navy picoat here, some dark denim jeans. This is more or less a casual look, but the turtleneck, along with the color, dresses it up, elevates it, really gives it a laid back casual sophistication. Because of that, I chose a pair of brown suede tassel loafers, which I paired with some cream colored socks to kind of pull in the color of the turtleneck and then on my wrist to finish it off, I have the Cartier Tank American. Next up is a cardigan and not just any cardigan, but a cable knit cardigan. I really like this one because it has that great cable knit look, but it's not overly bulky. I styled it very simply with just a plain white button-up shirt and a pair of khaki cotton trousers, and then anchored with a pair of dark brown suede oxfords. A cardigan like this is a great alternative to a blazer if you're just at home or going to visit friends and family and you want to be relaxed, but still look put together, feels very cozy and is a really great option for the season. Essential winter sweater number three is another cardigan, but this one a very different style. Instead of buttons, we have a zipper here, which along with the two pockets on the sides gives this zip-up cardigan an overall more casual feel. Especially in a cashmere fabric, it definitely has that effect of elevating a more casual look like I've got here with a brown gingham shirt, light wash denim jeans, and white sneakers. Really digging the cream colored socks if you haven't noticed. If you are someone who kind of gravitates towards this more casual button-up shirt and jean style and always find yourself looking for ways to dress it up a bit without a blazer, I really recommend a zip-up cardigan like this as a way to do that. For sweater number four, we have a patterned turtleneck. Well, just a simple stripe. Now, not only does this turtleneck have a stripe on it, but if you look closely, you can see that it has a really cool and subtle texture as well. The color, a nice rich burgundy, I absolutely love. And one of the reasons that I love it most is that it pairs so well with browns, which as you know, I am a huge fan of. I've got it paired with this great herringbone double-breasted coat along with some brown trousers, a pair of cap toe boots, and the Vacheron traditionnelle on the wrist. It couldn't be an almost holiday, sweater-focused video without including a holiday sweater. Now, I understand that this particular sweater does not necessarily fit into the classic ugly holiday sweater category, but you know, not everyone including me is 100% comfortable with the full-on ugly sweater thing. So for those of us, there's a sweater like this, which I would totally wear to a classic family holiday get-together. Now, because I know you guys, I'm gonna wager that probably your favorite looks from this video were the turtleneck outfits. And because it's the holiday season and I'm in the giving spirit, I've got a video with 10 more turtleneck outfits you can try. So click on that video, hop over there and get inspired.
